UK seeks inspiration from Denmark to shake up immigration system Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is taking cues from some of the toughest migration laws in Europe.

Denmark steals possessions of people seeking asylum, as policy. It returns people to situations where they are killed.
Mahmood is copying some of the worst policies going.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Motorcyclist on shopping trip arrested amid Labour’s crackdown on undocumented migrants Fernando Fontoura, who moved to the UK aged 12, detained in drive to find people ‘illegally working’ as delivery drivers

Fernando (33), who was 12 when he came to the UK, was detained by the Home Office as part of their upgraded immigration raids. Held for 29 days. We are supporting him with an application for settled status. No way to know, but this is unlikely to be isolated. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Lancashire's Reform-run council is planning to save £4m a year by closing 10 council-run care homes and day care centres, and moving them into the private sector. In unrelated news, Graham Dalton (Reform) is Lancashire council's Head of Adult Social Care, and owns a private care home business.

It’s a weird thing that in the Anglosphere the very idea of solidarity has been allowed to become a corny, solely left-wing, cliche rather than a living societal value.

In mainland Europe ordinary people and even centre-right politicians speak unironically of solidarity across & between societies.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Nobody had even heard of Katie Lam outside of Westminster until about two weeks ago.

Literally all it takes to be considered "brilliant" and a "rising star" on the right of British politics now is just a willingness to say something slightly more racist than all of your competitors

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

And so it begins...

"They Will Also Need to Go Home" A sitting Conservative MP has introduced a bill that would make lawful residents deportable for earning under £38,700 - and Britain’s political class is barely blinking.

"...it’s easy to recognise the signs - policies like this don’t emerge out of nowhere or in isolation, they’re like trial balloons to see just how far the line can be moved before the outrage starts burning out."

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

why did this take two fucking days though? did the Prime Minister have his notifications switched off? was he stuck in the bath? why, exactly, is this obviously true thing something that apparently needs running past the boss anyway? what is *wrong* with their comms operation?

The Established Church needs to find a voice on this kind of dehumanising depiction of men, women and children who have come to our country, being spilled all over the place to say the only thing that has human value is a salary above £38k and thst any foreigner who ever earns less must get out

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Simple enough, the Conservative Party will deport UK residents if they are not considered to contribute enough.

Any respectable politician or media commentator should be condemning such extremism.

Yes, they are actually saying that a "foreigner" who has worked here for decades, paid National Insurance, & is entitled BECAUSE OF THAT to a state pension, would be deported for the crime of claiming it.

Draft Tory legislation on removing indefinite leave to remain is insane.

Would chuck out those not earning over £38K - including many pensioners!

+ social protections seems to include child benefit, so load of people with (British!) kids!

They'd remove my sis & mum who've been here 50 years.

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵

They had a full day to craft this statement and they still couldn’t bring themselves to say “this is unconscionable and we would never change the rules on people in this way” without adding the rider “as long as they deserve it”. Who is this even for?

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

We Are Utterly Reliant on Immigrant Workers – But Who Cares About Reality? Penny Pepper shares her experiences of recruiting migrant care workers, who can find themselves enduring exploitation and abuse for their efforts

🔴 We Are Utterly Reliant on Immigrant Workers – But Who Cares About Reality?

"Politicians in general – and the right-wing ones in particular – rarely have a clue of the realities of frontline work in the broader care industry" @penpep.bsky.social

British.

No, Kids Weren’t told "They’d All Be Muslim by Year 6” A handful of parents, a far-right outrage machine, and the damage misinformation does to real communities.

Another prime example of how the right-wing faux outrage machine works.

In one crisp para — & the 2 charts he highlights — @chrisgiles.ft.com bursts a huge number of “welfare” myths www.ft.com/content/ee67...

They lie about the ECHR.
Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved…
It’s NOT TRUE.
We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING.
For liars.
Again.
